The page is redirected to https://usborne.com/fr/books/computer-and-coding-books https://usborne.com/fr/books/computer-and-coding-books which is 404, and there is no way around it. That's quite maddening when a website does this kind of things.
- wazoox 5mo agoApparently people aren't aware that not everybody lives in the US, but some may want to see the US page of the website anyway. Auto-redirecting people to the local version is incredibly stupid, particularly when it ends in a 404.
- Symbiote 5mo agoIt's a British publisher, so they're not unaware, just incompetent. Maybe the global page would work better than the US page which is the HN link. https://usborne.com/row/books/computer-and-coding-books https://usborne.com/row/books/computer-and-coding-books
- wazoox 5mo agoNope, also redirect to the "fr" version if you're using a French browser, even when using a VPN connection localised in UK...
